Description

In this book, Merritt Moseley offers a brief history of the Booker Prize since 1992.

With a short chapter covering each year, we follow the change in criteria, the highs and lows, short lists, winners, and controversies of the Booker Prize.

The book also functions as an example of literary criticism for each of the books involved, analyzing the judging process and the winning books. Exploring themes such as literary vs. popular fiction, the role of Postcolonial work in what began as a very "British" prize, the role of marketing, publishing, and the Booker organization itself, the book offers a crucial view into literary prize culture.

The book spends time looking at exclusions, as well as the overall role and function of the literary prize.

What books aren’t included and why? Why has the Booker become so significant?This book will be of use to anyone with an interest in, or studying, contemporary literature, literary prizes, literary culture and British literature, as well as publishing studies.
